Well, what can I say?!? Once again, Stenod pulls off some badass work that is top notch. Being as picky as I am about cars, and seeing the level of detail that leaves their doors, I truely appreciate the craftsmanship behind their work.

Kyle- you are one lucky SOB! I am quite envious. One day my car will be at this level.

Great job and I can't wait to see videos of it on the road! I love my damm videos! Hehe

Looks real good. One question though, on the window net isn't it suppose to mount on the inside of the cage? Maybe Madman or someone can chime in, I know it would make it a lot easier if allowed like that.

Car looks great! Have a question though, is the car going to be on the street a lot? I was just wondering if you will still be able to see out of your rear view mirror with that cage?

Kyle actually is going to need to have the window net redone to retain his arms better. He's such a short bastard that his arm can come out with it back like that. He needs one that is longer at the bottom. Subsequently that will put the pickup point at the bottom below the door handle and that will have to move to the top or inside of the tube.

We'll have to slap Joe for putting the buckle on the outside like that anyway. All of the cars at Jerry Bickel had the nets mounted on the top or middle of every tube. Technically they were neither inside or outside of the roll cage.

6:3 Window Net
A ribbon-type or SFI Spec 27.1 mesh-type window net is
mandatory on any car required by the rules to have a roll cage.
Window net must be securely mounted on the inside of the roll
cage with permanent attachment at the bottom. All attachment
points must be designed in an attempt to protect the driver and
avoid contact with track surface or guardwall. Eyelet clips, dog
leash hardware, hose clamps, etc. prohibited. Penetration of
webbing, except as performed by manufacturer, prohibited. Any
modification to net must be performed by manufacturer.

looks very clean! I'm assuming the car will (or does) have the nuts to run times necessary to make full use of this?
